by the bulk Of our population; and
while l + may be urged that some Of
the provisions Of some Of the 0rdi-
n ances passed, are unnecessary at
present and in advances of the timesn
It IN ust be renembe red that the wor
Of the present council in this regard is
not for the present only but for the
future 1t Is not hoped, or to be ex-
pected that every new council elected
10 the years to come will wipe out the
laws passed by its predecessors and
enact anew for the then present condl.
ton of things. Certain ordinances,
such as have been framed by our city
council are to be found the basis o {
local government in every city, and
are enacted for all time.
This then is the tlinsy basis on
which rests the complaint that our
council have been legislating too much
and too fast. The JOURNAL does not
appear as an spologist for the council,
for ss we size II up, il does not need
any. None of its members seek re
election, and beyond a desire to do
their duty to the public as quickly as
possible, and at the least possible ex-
penditure of their own time. they feel
no accountability to their constituents
seeking only in the future q relegstion
to private life. 1t has occurred to us,
however. that citizens who have
worked as intently. continuously, and
laboriously, for the public good as
they have since their entrance into
office, are entitled to have their ser
vices reviewed; more especially that
they have unfortunately fallen under
the ban Of adverse criticism.

How the Trouble Between Employ.
ers and Em ployees stands.

A representative Of the Dispatch
yesterday conversed with several gen
tlemen in the brick business with refe-
renee to the differences that have ex-
listed between the bricklayers and the
contractors. 1t appears that the fol
lowing state of facts exists:
The men asked for nine hours a day
with the same pay they had been re-
ceiving for ten hours. This the con-
tractors refused to accede to, but ex-
pressed their willingness TO accept nine
hours as days work with nine hours
pay. The men struck for their de-
mands, but have since decided toas.ent
to the contractors proposition. The
latter in the mean time employed many
non-union men, and the majority Of
them, without any meeting or agree
ment, have refused to take back their
old hands except upon the terms upon
which they formerly worked and to
work with non-union men. About one
half OF the members of the union have
returned to work-some with non-union
men, others with employers who work
only union men-for nine hours day at
nine hours pay.

The following appeared in letter
from Alexandria to the Dispatch OF
yesterday
"At conference between the agents
in this section for the foreign bond
holders held here this evening arrange
ments were perfected for the payment
in coupons OF licenses, including those
of bar-rooms and retail liquor stores.
1t was determined that persons doing
such businesses be furnished with the
bonds with coupons attached. thereby
fulfilling oil the requirements Of the
State laws. Mr.. Vashon, Of Richmond,
arrived here this evening with, it is
stated, $50, 600 in State bonds"
Mr.. Royal was asked yesterday az
ternoon il similar conference had
been held or similar arrangements
made in this city. He replied that no
conference had been held, but that ar
raDgements had been made by which
bar-keepers or retail hquor-dealers who
wish to do 80 can pay their licenses
with coupons taken from bonds which
the bondholders' agent, Mr.. Cooper,
has here. This course pursued, the
genuineness OF the coupons cannot BE-
questioned.

HIS SANITY QUESTIONED.
Children who Want Their Fathers
Condition Investigated.

Yesterday in the Chancery Court
John Il. Sedgwick, Jesse X. Sedgwick,
Mary V. Stratton, and w. II. Stratton-
all Of whom, except the latter, are chill
dren OF Anthony Sedgwick-filed peti-
ton praying the Court to take such pro-
ceedings as might be necessary to in
quire into the state OF the mind Of their
father, and. if he shall be found insane,
to appoint committee "who shall have
the custody and control of his person
and the management of his property"
Mr.. Sedgwick is in bis seventy-eighth
year, and is exceedingly infrm in body
and mind. Until very recently he has
resided with his married daughter, but
a few months ago he left there and has
since resided with Mr.. NJ. j. Mussen and
his family at III north Twenty-third
street.
In the petition presented to the
Court the folIowingi is contained: " Your
petitioners have long been aware OF the
fact that the laid Anthony Sedgwick
was incapable Of managing his own
business, and that bis mind has been
for many years seriously impaired.
They further say that lie is entirely
harmless, and they have not desired,
nor DO they now desire that he should
be sent to lunatic asylum, but they
do rega d ii as very important,
in view of his mental condition
and the fact that he has property, both
real and personal, which may be illegal
w disposed of, and part OF which
they insist has already been disposed OF
illegally because of his incompetency
TO make contracts, that committee be
appointed"
The case was not decided yesterday,
but was continued until tomorrow.

THE DANyILLE OFFICES.
They Have Not Yet Been Brought
Back 10 Richmond-wh

Mr.. James b. Pace, one of the di-
rectors in the Danville company, was
asked by Dispatch reporter yesterday
when the company's Offices will be
brought back to Richmond from Wash
ington.
He replied that he could not tell
definitely, but that he thought the time
would be determined upon in few
days.
Mr.. Alfred Sully. president of the
road, will arrive here to-day from the
North, and it is probable, Mr.. Pace
thinks, that he will call meeting Of
the Board of Directors TO be held in a
few days. The board at its meeting
held in New York some months ago de-
cided to order that the offices that Of
General Manager Thomas excepted
he brought back here. The United
States Court rooms have been moved
from the company's buildings here in
order that they might get possession,
and it now only remains for it TO be
decided when the work Of moving
shall begin.
